When my daughter was small, she dreamed of being a mermaid and becoming “part of that world”. With lots of sparkle, jewel-tones of the sea, and fin-like texture the MERMAID ME BLANKET can bring your little one’s imagination to life! Worked in simple motifs and then joined-as-you-go, constructing the tail is very easy. The sparkly fringe is crocheted right along with the border to make it even simpler. Lots of pictures, diagrams and special notes will help you make a mermaid tail blanket that lays over her lap to transform your little loved one into a sparkly MERMAID and be treasured for years to come!

Detailed pattern includes:
--special notes, stitch abbreviations and complete materials list
--alternate yarn suggestions
--join-as-you-go instructions, diagrams and explanations for putting it all together
--a picture section for additional help, if needed. (Doesn’t need to be printed to complete pattern as written.)

This is designed as a blanket, not a cocoon.
